Speaking of Dog and Pony shows, the Philosemitism Blog points to this announcement at Ramsey Clark's International Action Center for an INTERNATIONAL JURY OF CONSCIENCE FOR LEBANON to be held in Brussels in February. And just who is going to be in the dock? Hizballah? Syria? Iran perhaps? You know who.

Surprisingly, the accused will be allowed 30 minutes to react: "Reaction of the defendant (30min)". Of course, that comes after the "Reading the indictment (90 min)".

I don't know who's going to be appearing for the defense, but shame on them for bothering. Shame on anyone who grants legitimacy to this sort of farce:

...From 10:00 to 10:45 a.m.: statement from a representative of Amnesty International and a representative of Human Rights Watch

From 10:45 to 11:00 a.m.: coffee/tea break

From 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: statement from a representative of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations...

The show also promises REAL LIVE JUDGES!

The jury is composed of five people, one from each inhabited continent, each of them judges by profession.

Real judges would participate in one-sided staged farces of this nature? Names, please.

The entire hearing will be recorded and filmed. The debates will be translated simultaneously into English, Arabic and French.

What? No Hebrew?
